I did think about extending bones, however, bones influence based on weight painting, muscles will influence based on volumetrics and you can already use the "stretch-to" bone for rudimentary muscles. thanks anyway though.

no idea about subdivisions, maybe see how the subsurf modifier does it.

ohh... so close [= , an upward vector instead of a downward one (that would have been my second choice) and I put G->scene->camera.obmat instead of G.scene->camera->obmat. Sorry my bad. Just make sure that G.Scene->camera and G.scene->camera->obmat aren't null pointers before calling them, otherwise...

After looking quickly at the source, I think you can get the camera's object matrix through "G->scene->camera.obmat". This may be different with multiple scenes or cameras. Although I'm not sure, I think if you multiply the matrix by a vector facing downward (because when the rotation of a camera is...

Thanks, but I got my computer working again a while back. I'll know what to do if it happens again though now.

there is no module called GameLogic heres the modules that do exist http://www.blender.org/documentation/245PythonDoc/

You can move round the sections if you don't move the muscle first. The reason for this is the selection "ghosts" don't move with the muscle, but I'm rewriting a lot of the drawing/transforming code, hopefully this new approach will be faster and it will be easier/possible to write full transformati...

My method for creating muscles, is very similar to theirs except, they have four end points (2 at each end), whereas mine has only 2, and from what I can see they can only attach their muscle endpoints to vertices on a mesh whereas with my system you will be able to attach to faces as well. There's ...

Thank you very much. Looking through the source and watching one of their demonstration videos, its surprising how close my implementation is to theirs and really interesting to see where it differs. Progress is good, no major issues at the minute. Once I've got a rudimentary gui written, I'll relea...

If everything goes to plan then, the 2nd and 3rd should be possible soonest but the 1st and 4th will take a little longer because of collision detection. Everything you've asked about should be possible with this implementation idea. Simulating in this way should be quicker than using shape keys and...

yeah, that looks quite impressive, and that's kind of like the way I'm implementing it, except that the controller can only be perpendicular to the central line along the muscle, (or bezier line hopefully soon). I'm planning to get what I've done so far onto a svn branch soon, if you can code you ma...

Bulges are controlled by an arbitrary number of defined cross-sections, so yes you can have more than one bulge, and also you can change the centre of the change in radius and offset of any of the cross-sections, so abdomen muscle are definitely possible too. I like the colour coded muscle idea, but...
